T. A. Grimm & Associates, Inc.

T. A. Grimm & Associates, Inc. was founded in 2002 in response to changing business conditions, frustration with marketing agencies and past experience with the importance of measuring marketing efforts.

Having worked with small businesses in the product development field since 1985, Todd Grimm, president, launched the company to address the marketing needs and challenges of small and mid-sized companies that sell products or services for new product development. Prototyping, molding, casting, stamping, scanning, CAD/CAM and design are just a few of the industries on which the company focuses.

With the demand for Todd's experience and knowledge in the rapid prototyping industry, T. A. Grimm & Associates expanded its services to include consulting for rapid prototyping and related technologies. Like the marketing services, the consulting services are geared for small and mid-sized companies.

Marketing Engineered for Sales Results SM

As a small-business marketer, Todd has experienced the day-to-day challenges of small business. He has also learned several hard lessons:

Marketing has one goal; Sell something.

Measure marketing results.

Every dollar counts for small business.

You can't improve what you don't measure.

Agencies believe in the "art" of marketing.

Winning awards is more important than building sales.

Building brand is more important than getting response.

Pretty pictures are more important than powerful copy.

A belief that logical, predicable and measurable marketing is a fantasy.

No sense of the real world of business.

Little competence in technical products and services.

Marketing is confusing, even scary, for many small businesses.

It is from these experiences that the process, tactics, focus and philosophy of T. A. Grimm were built.

The tagline, "Marketing Engineered for Sales Results," says it all. The company approaches each project with the intent to generate sales quickly and to make the results predictable and measurable. In effect, the company's goal is to change marketing from a "black art" to a science.
